Title: Ex Marandi's
Post by: Gemstone on April 07, 2017, 19:44.: Have noticed today that a lot of transformations and painting going on inside Marandi's, I wonder what its going to be.
Title: Re: Ex Marandi's
Post by: Chris C on April 07, 2017, 20:18.: Hopefully a nice bar/restaurant and not another 'bazzer' shop which is a rumour I heard it was possibly going to be
Title: Re: Ex Marandi's
Post by: Corporal Jones on April 07, 2017, 23:18.: Where's Marandis and what's a bazzer?
Title: Re: Ex Marandi's
Post by: puddy-woo on April 08, 2017, 00:00.: Mirandis was where D'Ricardos used to be - next to Unide which used to be MaxCoop. A 'bazzer' shop is another bloody Chinese tat shop. Correct me if I'm wrong Gemstone

Title: Re: Ex Marandi's
Post by: John H on April 08, 2017, 08:05.: I noticed when I drove past the other day that the "conservatory" to the front of the building was coming down, the cause of all the problems that made the owners of Marandis leave, shame as it was our favourite restaurant in GA

Lets hope its a decent eating place thats going in - we dont need any more Chinese Shops or restaurants

Post by: llamedos on April 08, 2017, 20:06.: I bet taking that conservatory down was a pane.

The only Chinese is the one next to Websters

Nan kin is our favourite too, always good food and good service, and I think, the same owners since it opened too.

Title: Re: Ex Marandi's
Post by: Gemstone on April 14, 2017, 13:35.: Opens on 21st of April.
Title: Re: Ex Marandi's
Post by: Blue and white stripes on April 17, 2017, 10:02.: I think you're very unfair on Chinese shops. Where else could I buy a paint kettle and four ladder hooks for 1.50 euros?
Title: Re: Ex Marandi's
Post by: llamedos on April 17, 2017, 16:23.: They do provide stuff you need, and stuff you never knew you needed until you see it on the shelf.......like a tooth brush head cover with wall sucker!.

Post by: Phillip on April 18, 2017, 15:00.: I have never been to Nan kin...I always thought it was a Indian restaurant as in naan bread "naan king".. ??? :)
Will give it a try this summer.
Title: Re: Ex Marandi's
Post by: John H on April 18, 2017, 15:21.: We had a great meal in there last night Phillip.
I can recommend the Singapore noodles and Singapore Beef, superb, but too big a portion for me!!

Take it you mean not very good? If it isn't then don't think it will last long in GA. Not when Nan King is so good!

Post by: petercs on May 05, 2017, 08:20.: Nine of us went last week. Most had 10 and a bit set meal with wine and coffee. Apart from Mongolian pork people were happy and raved about the hot and sour soup.
